Boris, what do you mean exactly? I use portmaster on 6 machines (since I discovered it in July 2008) without any problems whatsoever. Portmaster aborted the linux-flashplugin9 installation because of the size mismatch, not portmaster's fault, is it? > > cannot find the file manually.

Downloaded it while reading your message. Did not realize the size mismatch then, because too busy elsewhere. I've just succeeded to install flash9 on firefox3 according to the Handbook and using the old version. Too unpatient today to install your patch which does certainly work, will try it on the next machine. I've read a long time ago (on this ML I think) that http://miniusa.com/crm/no_flash.jsp is an ideal test site. The install does work like a charm. Magnificent. There is a huge problem though: I've got now two vulnerable ports, firefox3 and linux-pango. The linux-pango case is apparently several months old. Any idea why the linux world doesn't seem to bother? How to persuade my user now not to use firefox, but w3m? Impossible. Anyway, thanks again to everybody, on-list and off-list. Harald
